A top US envoy warned Iran Friday that its pursuit of more advanced uranium-enriching technology would intensify the long-running international standoff over its disputed atomic drive.
"Any Iranian attempt at a more advanced centrifuge would be an escalation of Iran's ongoing non-compliance with its obligation to suspend all enrichment-related activities," the US ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Gregory Schulte, told AFP.

It would constitute a "further violation of Iran's international commitments, further reason why we are concerned about the nature of Iran's nuclear programme and the intentions of its leaders, and further reason for the Security Council to act," he said.

Media reports have said Iran is testing advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium, in flagrant defiance of UN resolutions to suspend all enrichment activity until the IAEA, can verify that such activities are entirely peaceful.

Enriched uranium is used to make nuclear fuel, but can also be used to make fissile material for atomic bombs.

Iran has started building a second atomic power plant in an oil-rich region near the border with Iraq, Iran's Ambassador to Russia was quoted as saying Friday by Itar-Tass news agency.

Gholamreza Ansari said construction had started at Darkhovin in south-western Khuzestan province. Iran has said it would construct a 360 megawatt plant at the site.

"Now we need to think about the fuel for it," Tass quoted him as saying at a news briefing in Moscow. A spokesman for the Iranian embassy confirmed the comment.

The United States, which has been leading a drive through the United Nations to rein in Tehran's nuclear program fearing it could be used to make weapons, said it saw no reason for a second Iranian plant.

Between the sabre rattling on both sides, we'll be lucky if we don't end up in a war with Iran. We are already the pariah of the world over Bush's interference in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations.

Bush will start a new war before the election. Or maybe a bomb will go off in the lower 48 and the Taliban will be blamed.

If Karl Rove were still helping out, I would believe this. I believe that it was mostly Bush's menions that got him in trouble. Without all the "support" around him now, I don't think he will start another war. He is trying now to save what he has left, if anything, of his legacy.

(Am I loosing my mind to agree with you!!???)

Except that it is not only this administration, but the administrations and covert involvements in the internal affairs of other countries ever since WW II which have been manipulating and inciteful: In the name of 'democracy' our country has interfered with almost EVERY country's government who we sheeple are told are our 'enemies'. Almost every occassion of interferrence has brought down leaders who were our 'friends' or who should have been left to the choices of their own people.... and the despots we've assisted to governance have proven to be the best enemies our money and covert actions could buy.
Our threats to Iran is antagonizing Russia as well as Iran. We've allied with Pakistan then, it appears, we have interferred with her government to destabilize and lessen the confidence in their leader, and get Butto assasinated, who was our mark for alternative leadership.
Wars and rumors of wars.

I believe our excessive debt is destabilizing the economies of other countries and is inciteful ....particularly to the holders of our debt.... like China.
I believe our increased debt and the independance of the Reseve Bank to act independant of law, unaccountable, privately and secretly run, enabled to print money to 'loan' back ........ is designed to ruin our internal economic structure and used to manipulate the policies, laws, and actions made by our government, resulting in the gradual confinscation and centralization of individual wealth and property to the government.
Economic and Monetary Crash

Our government has given protections to big pharma like Searle, industries like Monsanto, and others: Research and grants and lack of oversight have assisted the advancement of 'technology' or 'science' to alter the genetics of our food and grain crops. Such companies are 'protected' in their production of designer seeds (lgoogle GMO) with patents, license to use and royalties: and controls in place to prevent farmers from saving their seeds at the end of one crop to produce next years crop..... which was customary at least in the areas of corn, soybeans, wheat etc. These companies are now reportedly developing or have developed 'terminator seeds' which means the seeding off of one year's crop will not germinate for the next year. And with fewer than 2% of Americans still living on farms.... there is scarcely enough people directly affected to have knowledge or see the concern for our food supply. A venture into a seed catalogue will give one some idea when seeds are not available and offerings are stamped as 'unavailable, crop failure'. Futhermore, a GMO planted crop adulterates the genetic crossing and pollinations of same non GMO crops planted close by. We've seen a recent demise of bees to pollinate crops...
Famines and Pestilences

And the Democrats
and the Republicans
are together in this one direction.

Those who see it and annouce the alarm are unheard.
No one wants to consider the unpleasant realities, and the signs of the times.
The majority will keep to the path of making their decisions as they always have, and trusting the people they've always trusted, and listening and believing the promises that have let them down in the past.....
And we all go over the cliff together

While crisis are created
to bring about the occulist prophecy
"Out of chaos Order."
